Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized ...

Those are defects. But sometimes, Barna argues, differences in ribosome structure and composition may be functional. “We are discovering that certain ribosomal proteins occur more often in some ...

This is a ribosome, its different parts depicted in different colours. Ribosomes are the protein factories of our body’s cells. Our immune system is constantly monitoring our body. In order to ...

ABOVE: Hematopoietic stem cells have mechanisms in place to generate intrinsically disordered proteins, which could underlie ...

There are processes in the human body that can suppress the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. These mechanisms, ...

Differences in the ribosomal densities of the two daughters produced by a mother Escherichia coli could explain the asymmetry of aging and growth rate in previously reported such daughter pairs.

To stem the surging antibiotic resistance public health crisis, scientists seek solutions inside the mechanics of bacterial ...

The secret to cellular youth may depend on keeping the nucleolus—a condensed structure inside the nucleus of a cell—small, ...

There are processes in the human body that can suppress the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. These mechanisms, including those involving the tumor suppressor protein p53, are widely studied ...

Researchers have uncovered an unexpected vulnerability that could change how we fight deadly infections without using more drugs.
